Easy Salsa Verde Chicken Enchiladas - Inspired Taste image

These green chicken enchiladas with salsa verde, chicken, sour cream, cheese and cilantro are simple to make. Salsa verde is a green tomatillo salsa made with garlic, onion and peppers. You can make it yourself (see our homemade salsa verde recipe) or buy it from the store. There are some great options. Look for a salsa with medium heat.

Provided by Adam and Joanne Gallagher

Total Time 40 minutes

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 30 minutes

Yield Makes 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 teaspoon neutral flavored oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups (16 ounces) salsa verde, store-bought or try our roasted salsa verde recipe
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup cilantro leaves and tender stems, chopped, plus more for serving
2 cups shredded cooked chicken, see how we make shredded chicken
1 cup shredded cheddar, Monterey Jack or Mexican cheese blend
6 (6-inch) flour or corn tortillas, see notes

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat then cook garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the salsa verde and cook until heated through, about 1 minute. Remove skillet from the heat then stir in the sour cream and cilantro. Taste for seasoning, adjusting with salt, pepper or more sour cream if the sauce it too spicy. Set aside about 1 cup of the sauce for assembling the enchiladas.
  • Stir the shredded chicken and half of the cheese into the sauce that has not been set aside.
  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 2-quart baking dish and spread a little reserved sauce on the bottom. Add about 1/3 cup of the chicken filling to the middle of each tortilla and roll into a cylinder. Repeat, lining up tortillas, seam-side down, tightly in the dish. Spread the reserved sauce over the tortillas and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
  • Cover the dish with aluminum foil and place in the oven. Bake until heated through, about 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake 10 minutes longer, until the cheese is melted. Serve with cilantro on top.

EASY ENCHILADAS VERDES (GREEN ENCHILADAS) - SKINNYTASTE



Easy Enchiladas Verdes (Green Enchiladas) - Skinnytaste image

Traditional Mexican green chicken enchiladas, made lighter!

Provided by Gina

Categories     Dinner

Total Time 60 minutes

Yield 9

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 onion (halved and divided)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
18 white corn tortillas
3 cups salsa verde (jarred or homemade)
1 cup crumbled queso fresco
sour cream (optional to serve)
cilantro (optional garnish)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400F.
  • Place the chicken breasts in a stock pot along with 1⁄2 an onion and salt and cover with water. Bring to a boil and simmer until cooked through, about 20 minutes.
  • Remove chicken from the water and let cool slightly. Shred chicken with two forks and set aside.
  • Mince the remaining onion and add to the shredded chicken.
  • In batches place 6 tortillas on a microwave safe dish and microwave 40 to 50 seconds to make them pliable so they don't crack. Keep them covered with a dish cloth to stay warm, then working one by one dip each warm tortilla in green salsa. Scoop two rounded tablespoons into each tortilla and roll tightly and place in a large casserole dish, seam side down, in a single layer. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and chicken.
  • Drench entire pan with 1 cup sauce and sprinkle with crumbled queso fresco.
  • Bake, covered in oven for 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from oven and serve with sour cream or additional queso fresco, if desired.
